The new Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) came into effect
on 1 January this year, replacing the Trade Practices Act. With
this legislation we have also seen the introduction of the new
Australian Consumer Law - a uniform set of laws that have been
specifically designed to give greater protection to consumers and
provide businesses with a common set of obligations.
It is crucial that ALL businesses understand the key concepts
behind this new legislation to ensure they are compliant.
To assist our clients to be "CCA Compliant" we have
prepared a series of articles explaining various aspects of the
legislation. We have also developed a check list so you can
determine to what extent your business will be affected by the CCA
and what steps you need to take to be adequately prepared. Please

CCA Check List.
